President Trump has ordered a visa ban on senior Iranian government officials and their family members, barring them from entering the US to travel, study or work.
Trump's proclamation accused Iran of threatening peace and stability in the Middle East and arbitrarily detaining Americans.
The presidential order is one of the first since Robert O’Brien took over as Trump’s national security adviser. O’Brien previously served as the special envoy for hostage affairs, and held numerous meetings with relatives and lawyers for those detained in Iran.had provided the administration and several lawmakers with a list of Iranian nationals living in the U.S. alleged to be the children or relatives of senior Iranian officials, including President Hassan Rouhani himself.
"Under this proclamation, senior regime officials and their families will no longer be allowed into the United States to reap the benefits of our free society while the Iranian people suffer under the Iranian regime's corruption and mismanagement," the spokesperson said. "Access to the United States — whether our financial system or visas — is a privilege not a right. This is a measured and long-overdue measure to hold malign actors to account," he said.It was unclear if the order would apply to Iranian relatives who already entered the United States legally or only to those applying for visas in the future.
